Is Nottingham Forest vs Chelsea on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch Premier League clash

Chelsea make the trip to Ange Postecoglou’s struggling Nottingham Forest as the Premier League returns from the October international break.

The Blues prolonged Liverpool’s slip last time out, with Estevao’s stoppage-time winner sending Stamford Bridge into euphoria and stripping the defending champions of top position.

Nottingham Forest v Chelsea live: Postecoglou under pressure in Premier League clash

Enzo Maresca sprinted down the touchline to celebrate with his players but won’t have the chance to do the same at the City Ground - he’ll be absent from the Chelsea bench as he serves a one-match ban for his antics.

Postecoglou, meanwhile, may not have much time left in his own dugout after a disastrous start to life at Forest, having failed to register a win in his first seven games since being appointed in September.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the clash:

Team news

Chris Wood is only on the bench for Nottingham Forest after picking up a knock on international duty, as is Igor Jesus. So Taiwo Awoniyi returns to the starting line-up.

There’s a start, too, for former Arsenal player Oleksandr Zinchenko, but Callum Hudson-Odoi is on the bench against his former side. Douglas Luiz also starts alongside England internationals Elliot Anderson and Morgan Gibbs-White.

An interesting Chelsea side, to say the least. There’s no Enzo Fernandez in the squad while Moises Caicedo is only on the bench following international duty.

Romeo Lavia comes into midfield while Josh Acheampong starts in defence while Tosin Adarabioyo returns to the bench after injury, but Wesley Fofana remains out. There’s also a start for Andrey Santos, with Estevao on the bench.
